Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 2011 Presidential dollar coin featuring James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States. The obverse displays a portrait of Garfield, while the reverse depicts the Liberty Bell. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this clad coin has a reeded edge and a diameter of 26.5 mm. It is part of a series honoring U.S. Presidents.
History
James A. Garfield served as the 20th U.S. President for only 200 days in 1881 before his assassination. Despite his short term, he was a decorated Civil War general and a prominent Congressman. The Presidential dollar coin program, initiated in 2007, aims to honor each president in chronological order of service.
Facts
The Presidential dollar series features a unique edge inscription with the year and "E Pluribus Unum." Garfield's presidency was tragically cut short by an assassin's bullet, making his term one of the shortest in U.S. history. The coins are collected by many for their historical significance and the diverse portraits of American leaders.
Value Fact
This coin, especially in mint condition or as part of a collection, holds value for numismatists. While circulated examples are common, uncirculated versions from mint sets can command higher prices. The relatively high mintage suggests it's not a rare coin, but its historical context contributes to collector interest.
